At the 2026 Palm Beach International Boat Show, Turkish builder Sirena Yachts put a coherent, evolution‑focused lineup before a North American audience. Ramp 5, Intersection 2 became a study in the brand’s design priorities: Germán Frers naval architecture paired with Cor D Rover interiors, semi‑displacement hulls that privilege efficiency and seakeeping, and layouts that favour generous volume and social flow.
Lineup at a glance
Sirena presented models that span owner‑operator cruisers to superyacht‑scale accommodations, allowing visitors to compare design logic and capability across the range.
Sirena 60 — U.S. debut
The new Sirena 60 made its U.S. show debut in Palm Beach, stepping into the line in place of the outgoing Sirena 58. At 19 metres, the flybridge cruiser retains Sirena’s trademark plumb bow and upright glazing while introducing a number of practical refinements. Exterior changes include a remodelled transom seat, enlarged rope lockers, widened bulwark cut‑outs for easier docking, an extended swim platform and an enhanced foredeck lounge with a folding table and convertible sunpad. The flybridge features a redesigned helm and a Corian‑topped bar with a convertible sunpad.
Internally the main saloon benefits from larger windows and a compact stair to the lower deck that frees up usable space. The galley footprint grows to roughly 5 m²—about 20% larger than on the Sirena 58—with expanded storage. A three‑cabin plan sleeps six, with a full‑beam master amidships and convertible guest cabins. Power options include Volvo Penta D11 or D13 engines; performance is optimised for efficient cruising with top speeds reported around the mid‑20 knot mark and an 800‑nautical‑mile range at 10 knots.
Sirena 48 — the entry point
The Sirena 48 remains the brand’s accessible entry model, blending efficient semi‑displacement hull characteristics with the ability to plane. Designed to appeal to owner‑operators, the 48 offers flexibility in layout—open aft options or a traditional aft deck—and three guest staterooms with an optional crew cabin. An extended flybridge emphasises alfresco dining and social life on board. Performance figures published for the 48 list a top speed of 27 knots, a comfortable cruising band of 17–20 knots and an economical 10‑knot speed; a hybrid variant is available for silent electric cruising.
Sirena 68 — compact explorer
Described as a compact explorer, the Sirena 68 offers notable interior volume for her length. Naval architecture by Germán Frers and interiors by Cor D Rover yield a modern trawler aesthetic and a CE Category A hull suited to extended passages. The semi‑displacement hull is capable of up to 26 knots with optional 1,000 hp Volvo D13 engines, cruises in the low 20s and can deliver a 1,200‑nautical‑mile range at 10 knots. The layout promotes social flow with an open galley aft linking saloon and cockpit, while below decks a full‑beam owner’s cabin aft is complemented by VIP and twin guest cabins.
Sirena 88 — the flagship
The Sirena 88 represents the brand’s flagship offering, marrying semi‑displacement performance with superyacht‑scale accommodation. The five‑cabin arrangement can accommodate up to 12 guests, including two VIP cabins and two twins, while the main‑deck owner’s suite enjoys a private deck. Notable features include a large flybridge, a foredeck plunge pool and a transom beach club that doubles as a lounge. With twin 1,550 hp MAN diesels the 88 can reach 25 knots; at 9 knots she is rated for roughly 2,100 nautical miles of range, extendable beyond 3,000 nm with optional fuel tanks.
Industry context — why this matters
Sirena’s Palm Beach presence matters because it demonstrates a clear continuum: models that scale from owner‑operator practicality to near‑superyacht refinement while maintaining a consistent design language and a focus on hull efficiency. For North American buyers comparing European semi‑displacement concepts, the display provided a tangible way to assess volume, layout choices and the trade‑offs between performance and range across sizes.
